Not even speaking about all the ads in the default YouTube app without a subscription.

The app is basically useless in my opinion. It defaults to freaking 240p for every video. My phone is definitively not the problem, also not the Internet connection. Watching in Firefox on the same connection gives me normal expected quality.

This was better on some “feature phones” without touchscreen!!! YouTube app works and playback is in 720p / 1080p

    I’ve been using YouTube Vanced for years, and now ReVanced, after Vanced got killed. it’s a bit tedious to set up on non rooted phones, but even then, it’s such a huge upgrade. no ads, let you pick your own quality, SponsorBlock built in, background play, lots of payout control options.

    I just use newpipe on my phone, freetube on linux. I appreciate that you don’t need an account to “subscribe” to channels.
